Addon: Parrot

Another addon spotlight I felt was worthy of a special mention; Parrot. A nice addon that does not so much improve your game play or produce any vital function, but rather affects how the game data flows on your screen. Most of the time I can never really out useful info from anything but my combat log and anyone who has had a peek, probably, agrees that it is not exactly user-friendly.

Parrot lets you customize what data you see on your screen, anything from combat data, critical strikes, professions, and cool downs. It is surprisingly versatile and importantly, provides a way to change how the data flows on your screen; letting you set fonts, change size, and rolls them in nice arcs around your character, instead over it where it often is just in the way.
